When I was a kid in Maine, I remember being surprised to hear that the highest peak in the east wasn't Mount Washington (from last October), but some mountain in western North Carolina. Today D and I drove to the top -- well, except for the short walk up to the brand new observation tower on top. Standing at 6684', D pointed out that the top of Dad's head was higher than anything in eastern North America (at least that wasn't flying). Given that many of the summits around here are called "balds", it seemed fitting!
